bast Sunday the Happy Hollow ball
team preambulated in a southeaster
ly direction for a distance of several
miles where they crossed bats with
Cole Creek and we are sorry but not
ashamed to say that we got trimmed
to the lively tune of 13 to 1, but cir
cumstances nearly always alter the
case, as our pitcher run off to Rock
ville to play second base for Arcadia,
leaving us without a ‘slat artist” com
pelling us to try out all the rest of
our players to find out which one
could pitch and we are not sure yet
as to whether any of them can pitch
or not, because there were some awful
long hits pulled off and our best
fieldffr having a “game” leg and not
able to play his position as usual
made nearly every hit a safe one, our
batters, well there was only one of our
men that was able to get in di
rect communication with the “old
horsehide pelt” and he in some un
known way got around to cause the
only straight mark on our side of the
score board, and their pitcher, we are
not exactly certain as to where he
hales from but undoubtedly lives in
this country and we believe he was
“German” as his name begins with
“Me.” He stands up somewhere be
tween six and seven feet in height,
well muscled and so long armed that
some of our less experienced batters
would dodge, actually believeing that
he was making an attempt to slap
them when he was only delivering
the ball.

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Neb., June G, 1916. The week opened
with a fairly liberal run of cattle, 234
loads or about 6,400 head. Prices
seemed to be lower for everything
but the strictly good to choice heavy
beeves. Owing to the advices from
other markets being of a bearish na
ture, and although the local dressed
beef men and shipping buyers had
pretty good orders to fill, they want
ed the cattle lower, their bids being
10 @ 15c lower. Real choice heavy
beeves brought $10.60@10.65, and
very good cattle brought $10.15©)
10.35. The fair to good 1,000 to 1,250
pound beeves sold largely at $9.50©
10.00. The supply of she stock was
small, and went at about steady ^
prices, the range being from $4.75 to
$8.25, bulk of the fair to good butcher
and beef stock going at a spread of
$6.50@7.50.
Quotations on cattle: Good to
choice beeves, $10.20@ 10.65; fair to J
good beeves, $9.50@10.10; common to
['fair beeves, $8.25@9.40; good to
choice heifers, $8.00@8.75; good to
choice cows, $7.75@8.50; fair to good
cows, $6.75®7.75; canners and cut
ters, $4.50@6.50; veal calves, $9.00@
12.00; bulls, stags, etc,, $6.50@8.50.
With the exception of a few sales,
Monday’s hog market was about 10c
lower. One or two of the packers
needed a few liogs eariy. and paid
prices that were not much more than
5#10c lower, however, there were
only a few scattered loads sold this
way. Shippers had some orders, but
Uiey were not urgent, and were filled
at about a 10c reduction after the
packers got started. Most of the offer
ings moved at $9.20@9.30, the tep
reaching S9.40.
ine supply ot sheep and lambs for
Monday was liberal, some 21 cars, or
about 5,300 head. The break at Chi
cago on last week's close seemed to
have a tendency to lower prices here,
and as the packers have been protest'-'
:ng for some *ime that prices ,vore far
too high, they promised to get them
down to a working basi.-- at the first
opportunity. That today was the
chance they have been looking for
was evident right from the start. Buy
ers came out at about the usual time,
but refused to make a single bid, con
fining themselves to the prediction that g
prices would be lower than at last *
week's close.
